Posting pictures and glorifying the type of gun that killed 17 of his classmates the day students across America have a planned walk out to protest gun violence and remember the victims is very insensitive. Wtf is wrong with you?

so yes, differing opinions are offensive.

this is no more offensive then posting a picture of him learning how to drive after one of his classmates was killed in car.

In this particular case it was pretty easy. It wasn't a fight or something that happened without the parents knowing.

There's a good reason his parents were not notified. And it's not hard to find.

I would never agree with my child posting a video of himself firing the same type weapon that was used to kill 17 of his classmates and teachers, especially on the day they were walking out in remembrance/protest.

If nothing else, it was unnecessary and in very poor taste. He succeeded in getting his message across; however, people will interpret his message differently.

That doesn't have anything to do with how, why and when a parent should be notified. If LE was going to step in that should have happened on the front end. If he had red flags beforehand it makes it even more asinine.
It doesn't have anything to do with whether you think it was a bad idea or whether you would let your kid do it. That's irrelevant.

Reading up a little more about this, it appears some people including LE used a lawful action to interrogate a kid they didn't like nor his stance.

I've said MULTIPLE times. The school and LEO over reacted and should be dealt with accordingly UNLESS there are extenuating circumstances of which we are unaware.

What? It's not my cut and dried line.

I'm trying to get you guys to evaluate the line and offer some input.

your cut and dried line is the mere presence of a scary black rifle, which makes your input to that discussion worthless.

BS. They are not even in the same ball park.

More people die in car crashes every year than by guns. Many times it’s multiple fatalities and those involve youth a large amount of the time. Coming back from college car pooling, spring break, Friday night partying.

So if a youth loses say four friends to a DUI accident why aren’t they just as afraid of vehicles as they are inanimate guns?

Simple. Because this is all irrational made up crap to support the gun grabbing agenda. The example given was exactly the same from a rational viewpoint. Only irrational people would split hairs on the two cases.

Yeah you haven't figured out why they may have over reacted and see the slope on which that can cause.

Especially given the fact they screwed up the real threat that killed people.

If he's pro 2A you re fine with him being a target. No need to confuse this any longer.

The ease in which a 19 year old mentally unstable person can get his hands on an "assault style" weapon.

Keep using made up things and you can probably get them in the urban dictionary. You might even already have that one.

But that term still has absolutely no legal basis.

Nah little buddy, those kids were "protesting" to BAN particular weapons.

Little buddy? What's the point in that? Just comes across as frustration and a sign of a weak position.

I'm guessing if you asked a hundred protesters what they were protesting against and what they were hoping to accomplish, you'd get a variety of answers.

The most common thread would be frustration over the ease in which a 19 year old mentally unstable person can get his hands on an AR15.

Obviously, we can disagree on this point.

I simply watched the interviews and almost everyone mentioned banning AR15s.

I'm not desperate Luther because you are losing this battle.

Losing what battle?

Wouldn't you think that a natural extension of frustration over the ease at which a 19 year old mentally unstable person can get their hands on an AR15 might be banning AR15s?

What they are protesting against may blend into what they are protesting for.
